Loved Frankel but his racing programme was lacking in ambition. Never ran outside England, never tried at 12 furlongs so no Derby nor Arc, no Breeders Cup. I appreciate for stud value they wanted to keep him unbeaten.
Same with STS btw, another possible GOAT, retired at 3 after an admittedly enterprising campaign, another reason racing is ailing. Ask any non-racing sports fan to name 5 famous racehorses and neither Frankel nor STS will be mentioned
